Add 2 more teaspoon vinegar if milk doesn't get curdle. Repeat the process until you get the entire milk curdle.
Dump the entire milk in colander, remove the water and rinse it under the cold water to remove the vinegar.
Transfer the paneer on cheesecloth. Wrap the paneer with cheese cloth tightly. Suggest to make a knot.
Placed it on a plat and put a heavy material on the top. Let it rest for 2-3 hours to remove the access water.

You can use the cheese mould to shape the paneer. There are many cheap cheese moulds are available on amazon.
